A.  In December 1994, the Company's revolving credit facility was increased
from $30 to $40 million.

B.  Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of Common Stock, Class B Stock and other common
stock equivalents outstanding:  34,495,000 and 31,473,000 in the second
quarter of 1995 and 1994, and 32,374,000 and 31,019,000 for the six-month
period ending February 28, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Prior-period
earnings per share have been restated to reflect the Class A Stock dividend
distributed in September 1994.

C.  Pursuant to the Company's stock option plans, options to purchase 7,800
shares of Common Stock were exercised during the first six months of fiscal
1995.

D.  On March 30, 1995, the Company announced it will fully redeem the
principal amount outstanding of $13,211,000, 100% par value, plus accrued

The Company announced it also will buy-out on May 31, 1995 an equipment
lease which expires in February 1996 for approximately $3,000,000.

E.  The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments which, other than the cumulative
effect of an accounting change, consists solely of normal recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of results for the interim periods.  The Company's business is
seasonal.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ending
February 28, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of                
Operations and Financial Condition

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which affected the Company's financial position and
operating results during the periods included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Second Quarter

Results of Operations

 and Administrative         8.7%     14.6%          12.9%       22.3%
Operating Income           10.2%      6.2%           6.6%      (1.7)%
Net interest Expense        (.9)%    (3.1)%          (.9)%      (4.3)%
Pre-tax Income              9.3%      3.1%           5.7%      (6.0)%
</TABLE>

Net sales in the second quarter ended February 28, 1995 amounted to $72.4
million, an increase of 96.0% from $37.0 million in the same period a year
earlier.  The sales gain was due to greater volume of private-label and
distributor orders.  The gross profit margin in the second quarter was
affected by the customer mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined as a percentage of
sales to 8.7% from 14.6% as a result of the increased sales volume.

Net interest expense decreased to $667,000 from $1.1 million as a result of
lower short-term borrowing during the quarter and reduced long-term debt.

Pre-tax income for the quarter increased to $5.6 million, or 7.7% of net
income, compared to $1.1 million, or 3.1% of net sales in the prior year.

In the second quarter, the effective tax rate increased to 16.8% from 3% in
the prior year as the Company expects to utilize its tax loss carryforwards
during the fiscal year.  

Six Months

For the first six months of fiscal 1995, sales were $92.5 million, an
increase of 94.8% from $47.5 million for the same period in fiscal 1994. 
The sales increase for the six-month period is due primarily to increased
volume of private label and distributor orders.



<PAGE> 9

Gross profit margin decreased slightly during the fiscal 1995 period as a
result of customer mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined as a percentage of
sales as a result of the increased sales volume.

Net interest expense decreased as a percentage of sales to .9% from 4.3% in
the prior year period.  The decrease is due to lower short-term borrowing,
reduced long-term debt and increased interest income from cash investments.

In the six month period, the Company's net income was $4.4 million compared
with a net loss of $983,000 a year ago.  The 1994 results included a one-
time favorable cumulative effect of an accounting change amounting to $1.8
million from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The effective tax rate
increased to 17.2% in the six month period versus 3% in the prior year as
the Company expects to utilize its tax loss carryforwards.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital requirements of the Company are seasonal with cash balances
peaking in August and the greatest utilization of its lines of credit
occurring early in the calendar year.  During the second quarter, the
Company utilized working capital lines and cash to produce finished goods
to meet demand.  As a result, inventories were $73.3 million at February
28, 1995 compared with $49.6 million at February 28, 1994.  Accounts
receivable increased as a result of the higher sales volume.  

In December 1994, the Company increased its working capital credit facility
from $30 million to $40 million to provide additional seasonal working
capital, reduced the rate of interest on the facility to the prime plus 2%
and extended the facility through December 1997.  Management believes that
the Company's earnings and borrowing capacity are adequate to meet the
needs of its operation and long-term credit requirements, including capital
expenditure and debt maturities.  At February 28, 1995, short-term
borrowing was $17.2 million.

On March 30, 1995, the Company announced that as a result of seasonally
strong sales and cash flow it will fully redeem,  on May 5, 1995, the
$13,211,000 principal amount outstanding at 100% of par value plus accrued
interest, on its 5% convertible subordinated debentures due May 1, 1996. 
The debentures are convertible into the Company's Common Stock at $34.00
per share, which right shall terminate at the close of business May 4, 1995.
The Company announced it will also buy-out on May 31, 1995 an equipment
lease which expires in February 1996, for approximately $3.0 million.
